lake Sharp Found Guilty.

NEW York, June 29.-"Guilty of tho
crime charged" This was the verdict de-
livered tonight by the most competent
jury that Judge Barrett says ever sat be.
fore him, in the case of Jacob Sharp,
charged with bribing and conspir-
ing to bribe an alderman. A
verdict was reached in seventeen
minutes after the jury left the box. Out
of respect to his age and feeble health the
jury recommended him to mercy.
Sharp's counsel will make motion
on July 13 for new trial, and after that
the district attorney will continue his
prosecution both of the bribers and the
bribed, SO far as they can be reached.
Sharp was returned to Ludlow street jail.
As Sharp stepped to the walk on his ar.
rival at the Jail, he said: "Boys, now it's
all over, I'll tell you that never gave one
penny to Alderman Fullgraff or any other
alderman, and had no hand in bribing the
aldermen" With this the old man seemed
to break down.

estimated that the loss resulting from the
destruction of the city of Marshfeld will
not be less than s3,OOo,OOO and may be
nearly s3,5OO,OOO. A dispatch tonight says

there, but is suffering for want of cloth
ing. Supplies were sent from neighboring
towns that answered the purpose tempo
rarily, but Mayor Upham telegraphs that
more provisions must be sent at once or
the people will suffer. The remaining in-
habitants are again camping in the woods

Dreadful Work Of the Drought In
Illinois and Wisconsin.
No Soaking Rain Since March-Public
Prayers offered for n shower.

CHICAGO, July 1.-No such drought as
now prevails has existed In Illinois and
Wisconsin for many years. The roads arc
ankle deep with dust, the pastures arc
brown, and the leaves on forest and shade
trees are shriveled up and each hot breath
of air from the cloudlcss horizon drives
them away. Creeks have run dry, and the
water in the larger streams Is at lower
stage than was ever known before. There
has not been soaking rain in this part OF
the country since March. Two showers in
April and one each in May and June had
but a temporary effect on crops. Stunted
yellow spears bending disconsolately over
immense beds Of dust are the only evf-
dence that the farmers sowed any corn
this year. The leaves of the fruit trees
are falling and the fruit, which promised
to be plenty, is wrinkled and dried to the
stem. Raspberry bushes look as though
they were producing a crop of shot, SO
infnitesimally small and hard are the
berries. The drought has become
80 terrible that public prayers
are being offered. for rain.
The fences along the country roads and
the dead walls of the villages are plas-
tered with huge bills calling for special
services at the district school houses and
churches. Fires are burning in the woods,
and pastures for miles around are
scorched. The farmers have lost many
cattle in these fires, which seem to spring
up IN dozen places at once. Reports
from all parts Of Henry and adjoining
counties tell Of intense suffering from the
drought. The drinking water in many
towns has been polluted and the white
beds of the creeks are covered with decay
ing fish. The drought in the northern and
central tiers of counties Of Illinois is not
any more serious than it is in Wisconsin.
The Badger State is literally burning up,
and fruit and crops are nearly destroyed.
Reports from Northwestern Iowa state
that the drought has been broken.
